Where the hotel is
Patalya Thermal Resort is a thermal resort in Kızılcahamam, north-west of Ankara, just a short walk from Soğuksu National Park. The location suits guests who want to combine a thermal stay with time outdoors in the park. Its closest neighbour is Çam Thermal Resort & Spa, while the town's other thermal hotels are a short drive away.
Families travelling with children can add a child seat or baby seat when booking. The road from Esenboğa to Kızılcahamam is a longer one, so it matters that younger passengers ride in a seat that fits their age. Check the passenger and luggage capacity in the vehicle list to leave room for a pushchair as well as suitcases, and your driver will meet you in arrivals with a name sign.
